Qwen-VLA: Unifying Vision-Language-Action Modeling across Tasks, Environments, and Robot Embodiments
Embodied intelligence is often studied through specialized models for individual tasks such as manipulation or navigation, resulting in fragmented capabilities and limited generalization across tasks, environments, and robot embodiments. In this work, we study whether heterogeneous embodied decision-making problems can be unified within a single vision-language-action model. We present Qwen-VLA, a unified embodied foundation model that extends Qwen's vision-language modeling stack from perception, understanding, and reasoning to continuous action and trajectory generation through a DiT-based action decoder. Qwen-VLA is trained with a large-scale joint pretraining recipe over diverse data sources, including robotics manipulation trajectories, human egocentric demonstrations, synthetic simulation data, vision-and-language navigation data, trajectory-centric supervision, and auxiliary vision-language data. To support multiple robot platforms, we introduce embodiment-aware prompt conditioning, where robot-specific textual descriptions specify the current embodiment and control convention. We further cast manipulation, navigation, and trajectory prediction into a unified action-and-trajectory prediction framework, enabling transferable visual grounding, spatial reasoning, and continuous action generation across robot morphologies, task families, and environments. Experiments on manipulation, navigation, and trajectory-centric benchmarks show consistent multi-task performance and out-of-distribution generalization under variations in scene layout, background, lighting, object configuration, and robot embodiment. Qwen-VLA-Instruct achieves 97.9% on LIBERO, 73.7% on Simpler-WidowX, 86.1%/87.2% on RoboTwin-Easy/Hard, 69.0% OSR on R2R, 59.6% SR on RxR, 76.9% average OOD success in real-world ALOHA experiments, and 26.6% zero-shot success on DOMINO dynamic manipulation.
Adversarial Orthogonal Disentanglement for LVLM Hallucination Mitigation
Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) have advanced multimodal understanding, yet their reliability is limited by hallucination, where generated content conflicts with visual facts. Existing mitigation methods either rely on costly external interventions, such as instruction tuning and retrieval, or use internal mechanisms that remain limited by flawed attention weights and entangled hidden representations. We propose Adversarial Orthogonal Disentanglement (AOD), a latent geometric framework for mitigating LVLM hallucinations. AOD learns a hallucination-related direction through a minimax objective: a classifier concentrates hallucination signals into the projected component, while an adversary removes them from the orthogonal residual space via a Gradient Reversal Layer. The learned direction enables a training-free dual-forward-pass contrastive decoding strategy that suppresses hallucinations while preserving general capabilities. Experiments on three LVLMs across four hallucination and four utility benchmarks show that AOD consistently outperforms strong baselines. It improves POPE accuracy by over 6\% on average, boosts AMBER by 6\%, and maintains strong performance on utility tasks such as MMMU. Further analysis shows robust transfer across datasets, suggesting that AOD captures general hallucination-related biases rather than dataset-specific artifacts. Our source code and datasets are available at https://github.com/Hunter-Wrynn/AOD.
Distorted or Fabricated? A Survey on Hallucination in Video LLMs
Despite significant progress in video-language modeling, hallucinations remain a persistent challenge in Video Large Language Models (Vid-LLMs), referring to outputs that appear plausible yet contradict the content of the input video. This survey presents a comprehensive analysis of hallucinations in Vid-LLMs and introduces a systematic taxonomy that categorizes them into two core types: dynamic distortion and content fabrication, each comprising two subtypes with representative cases. Building on this taxonomy, we review recent advances in the evaluation and mitigation of hallucinations, covering key benchmarks, metrics, and intervention strategies. We further analyze the root causes of dynamic distortion and content fabrication, which often result from limited capacity for temporal representation and insufficient visual grounding. These insights inform several promising directions for future work, including the development of motion-aware visual encoders and the integration of counterfactual learning techniques. This survey consolidates scattered progress to foster a systematic understanding of hallucinations in Vid-LLMs, laying the groundwork for building robust and reliable video-language systems.
